Websites for Teachers

This is one of my favorite sites as a science teacher (specifically health and biology).
http://teachhealthk-12.uthscsa.edu/

This site is for creating your own games, like jeopardy, flash cards, BINGO, scavenger hunt, etc.

Haven't tried this one yet, but it looks like it has some great ideas.

For math teachers, check out this site.

This site is great for creating a word art. Insert a poem, parts of a speech, biographical information and the like and create a wordle. Use the wordle as decoration, writing promt, discuss the main ideas or plot of a story, etc.
